For my second draft of my contents page, there was quite a lot of work that needed to be done to it as my first draft had only place holder text under my headings. I wrote different news, features, posters, reviews and gigs information about what would be included in the magazine. I had to keep in mind my genre and use bands and artist who are popular in Hardcore music right now. The small summaries had to be grabbing and spike the readers interest so I stayed brief but left the reader wanting to read more. I also made sure to include page numbers so that the reader actually know where to read more. I filled out the editors note which I forgot to write the editor’s name so I will make sure to add that in my final draft.

Layout wise, I felt that it looked empty down the right hand side so I added the slanted black and white stripes which I decided to use again on the double page spread as part of the magazine’s branding. I also created space at the bottom for an add from the magazine selling their new digital radio station.
